Use that to start your next campfire. The official Helms GM manual is still available both in paper form and on line.

If your car was stored for more than 3 or 4 years, the chances of having stuck or leaking injectors is very high.

I'm suggesting that you test the fuel pressure. Schrader valve is on the fuel rail.....put a cheap gauge on there and see how long the pressure stays up after you turn the pump off....should be a minute or 2 at about 40 lbs. [This message has been edited by Gall757 (edited 04-26-2020).]

You can test for maximum pressure by depressing the center pin of the valve with a screwdriver. Fuel should shoot up and hit the 'bonnet' cover if you get 40 lbs. Put some towels around the valve and wear eye protection....maybe locate a fire extinguisher too. You still will need the gauge some day tho...

Ive noticed the check light appears to always blink code 12. As I never been able to get the car to run (sofar) I do not know if this suggests that there is a deeper fault that causing the non start.
Could anyone point me in the right direction ?
